Lindsay creates art because she has to—it's not a choice, it's a need. It is a release and realization that is necessary for her self-identity in an over stimulating, yet monotonous world. She began her journey through ink, spent some time in watercolor, and has now landed eagerly in acrylics. This progression has unfolded an exciting new realm of vivid colors and sharp contrast, giving way to the opportunity to revel in light and form. There is an aesthetic that is both her home and her inspiration which continues to delve deeper and develop alongside her observations both internally and externally. Lindsay is an ever-evolving human who seeks movement and change, and whose art compliments the complications of emotion and trial throughout her life. ​
